Maud Griezmann the sister of France and Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann was attending the concert at the Bataclan in Paris the night ISIS terrorists attacked, and has a horrible story to tell. By Sam Borden of the New York Times.

Tim Howard is very happy to be in Colorado. And MLS is radically different to when he left in the summer of 2003. by Dave Caldwell of the Guardian.

But lets hope the addition of Howard and Jermaine Jones can wake Coloradans from their slumber.
